United States Standards for Grades of 

Frozen Okra 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notification. 

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS) of the Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) has revised the 

United States Standards for Grades of 

Frozen Okra. The grade standards for 

frozen okra have been changed from a 

‘‘variables score point’’ system to an 

‘‘individual attributes’’ grading system. 

The ‘‘dual grade nomenclature’’ has 

been replaced with single letter grade 

designations and editorial changes were 

made. These changes bring the United 

States Standards for Grades of Frozen 

Okra in line with the present quality 

levels being marketed today and provide 

guidance in the effective utilization of 

frozen okra. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 16, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

203(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act 

of 1946, as amended, directs and 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture 

‘‘to develop and improve standards of 

quality, condition, quantity, grade, and 

packaging, and recommend and 

demonstrate such standards in order to 

encourage uniformity and consistency 

in commercial practices.’’ 

AMS is committed to carrying out this 

authority in a manner that facilitates the 

marketing of agricultural commodities 

and makes copies of official grade 

standards available upon request. Those 

voluntary United States Standards for 

Grades of Fruits and Vegetables no 

longer appear in the Code of Federal 

Regulations, 7 CFR part 52, but are 

maintained by USDA, AMS, Fruit and 

Vegetable Programs. AMS is revising the 

U.S. Standards for Grades of Frozen 

Okra using the procedures that appear 

in part 36 of Title 7 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (7 CFR part 36). 

Background 

AMS received a petition from the 

American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) 

requesting the revision of the United 

States Standards for Grades of Frozen 

Okra. The petitioners represent almost 

all of the processors of frozen okra in 

the United States. The grade standards 

were based on the variable score points 

grading system. 

Prior to undertaking research and 

other work associated with revising the 

grade standards, AMS sought public 

comments on the petition (see 64 FR 

52266). A notice requesting additional 

comments on the proposed revision to 

the United States Standards for Grades 

of Frozen Okra was published in the 

December 12, 2007, Federal Register (72 

FR 70565). At the request of AFFI, a 

notice reopening and extending the 

comment period was published in the 

May 16, 2008, Federal Register (73 FR 

28424). A 60 day period was provided 

for interested persons to submit 

comments on the proposed grade 

standards. Several discussion drafts 

circulated between September 2008 and 

February 2011. A request for comment 

on the proposed revised United States 

Standards for Grades of Frozen Okra 

was published in the June 2, 2011 

Federal Register (76 FR 31887). No 

comments were received in regard to 

this request. 

The revision of the United States 

Standards for Grades of Frozen Okra 

provides common language for trade 

and better reflects the current marketing 

of frozen okra. The official grade of a lot 

of frozen okra covered by these grade 

standards is determined by the 

procedures set forth in the ‘‘Regulations 

Governing Inspection and Certification 

of Processed Products Thereof, and 

Certain Other Processed Food Products 

(§ 52.1 to 52.83).’’ 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On September 15, 2011, we issued 

Emergency AD 2011–20–51, which 

requires the removal of affected PMA 

replacement TAATI first stage reduction 

sun gears and the interacting planet 

gears, from the propeller reduction 

gearbox assembly. This action was 

prompted by failures of certain 

replacement PMA first stage reduction 

sun gears, manufactured by TAATI. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in failure of the shaft portion of 

the sun gear, which will result in an 

engine in-flight shut down, possible 

uncontained engine failure, aircraft 

damage, and serious injuries. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires the removal of 

affected PMA replacement TAATI first 

stage reduction sun gear and the 

interacting planet gears, from the 

propeller reduction gearbox assembly, 

within 15 operating hours or 15 days 

after the effective date of this AD, 

whichever occurs first. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because of the short compliance 

time required in this AD to remove any 

affected parts from service. Therefore, 

we find that notice and opportunity for 

prior public comment are impracticable 

and that good cause exists for making 

this amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2011–1038 and Directorate 

Identifier 2011–NE–31–AD at the 

beginning of your comments. We 

specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://www.

regulations.gov, including any personal 

information you provide. We will also 

post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that the inspection in 

this AD will affect about 5,000 engines 

installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that disassembly of 

reduction gearboxes will affect about 50 

engines, and the sun gear removal will 

affect about 40 engines. We also 

estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per engine for inspecting the 

engine records. We also estimate that for 

about 10 engines, it will take about 10 

work-hours for the inspection of the sun 

gear serial number (S/N) and reassembly 

of the reduction gearbox, due to the 

records not identifying the S/N. We also 

estimate that it would take about 16 

work-hours for parts replacement. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts for one engine will cost 

about $14,500. Based on these figures, 

we estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. 

operators to be $1,067,900. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in subtitle VII, 

part A, subpart III, section 44701: 

‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
